Ok well i have a pair of Salomon foils that i picked up mid-way last season. I am just curious, but how are the thrusters different from the foils? and im just wondering what some good things are about the foils.

from my understanding is that they replace the 1080 and 720 some what the foil being the old 1080 and the 720 being the thruster and the gun being the pocket rocket with a few others fitting into the mix

allright, cus i mostly ski park and once in a while i just bomb it down some diamonds. i got such a good deal on the skis so i got em. these skis are good for park being center mounted? How would they compare to my old Line 1260's that were set back an inch.

the foil is wider and more of an allaround park specific ski designed to preforme all-mountain. where the thurster is very park specific with an emphasis on pipe
